  1. Missed these replies guys. I was checking the thread in my 'subscribed' section on my iPad and nothing new was showing up. So only just saw these :-( If there are a few of us from the Teesside area, we should try meet up sometime. I know I'd always be grateful of any help with my set up as I've had it well it over a year and only ever took it out once. And I never really fancy taking it out by myself :-)
  2. Hey bud. Just saw this and your PM. I've actually just got myself the Monday off work so I can stay up for this. Was probably going to view from my garden but did maybe think of venturing out. So thanks for the invite! I may well do so. Think I would need a postcode or something as I've no idea where it is though ;-)
  3. Sounds ideal. See if you can get a postcode for me. I could try it myself ;-)
  4. I wanted to go to Wynyard for one of the meetings last year but never did. I may this time round. I emailed a few of them actually asking for advice on where to go. One of them from Durham was even kind enough to invite me to his place where he has dark skies and his own little observatory. I never did though :-/ I'm sure when I was up Clay Bank the other week, as I was leaving someone was in fact setting up their scope. But it was too dark to tell. I really wanted to stop and ask, but could have been awkward if they weren't lol. I've had mine for well over a year and apart from a failed attempt one night in the freezing cold at Wynyard, I've barely used it. Now is probably a perfect time. Dark enough before midnight and not too cold! :-)
  5. I've just subscribed to this. Wasn't sure whether to. Took a few days of pondering so glad to read some positive comments here.
  6. Hey bud. Only just saw your post. I drove up Clay Bank the other night just to check it out and it seems pretty good. I didn't take my scope, was just out and about and thought I'd check it out. It's weird how creepy it is though. Not sure I'd want to go by myself lol. You found anywhere reasonable?
  7. Yeah Danby is lovely. Could be a destination if we go camping. But ideally want somewhere a little closer. But I'll remember that suggestion ;-)
  8. Nope. That wasn't me. I'm in Ingleby in Stockton. Just a stone throw away from lots of countryside. I know u need to go further for darker skies but I just need somewhere within half an hour, which is darker than my back garden. But as I drive through the countryside I don't really see anywhere to pull over.
  9. Just wondering if anyone is from the area. Need to find a good site to take my scope. :-)
  10. Hey guys, great post. But I haven't been through all the pages. I have the Skywatcher 200p (just bought), and didn't even think about the EPs that would come with it and whether I'd need to upgrade. I have a 10mm, 25mm and x2 Barlow. In the first post, Warthog says about the branding on the EP and to determine who made them. Well I don't see any marks on mine. Should I assume they need upgrading? Can I also ask here what peoples thoughts are on diagonals to correct the image? Would like to get one but they range from £30 to well over £150. Thanks.
